He makes up for it by being a fun listen.

Nice of him to consider demography. Ballistically funny to watch him squirm when asked why Africa isn’t an economic powerhouse if (according to him) young people are the ones driving economic growth. Something about Af. going through the demographic transitions so fast that they skipped over the part where young people drive growth.

I have come to the conclusion that he is a mile wide and an inch deep. He also is a flaming Liberal Trump hater. He entertains but I doubt how prescient he actually is at predicting the future.

As usual, Zeihan gets everything wrong. There have been some 250 wars since 1945, as the US has started over 200 of them, and almost always against countries that were at peace with the US and its allies. The US is also the country that works hardest against free trade.

The recent spate of shame Stalinist show trials should also dispel any fantasy that the US is a country of laws.
